The good (?) people at Verizon have decided to replace my phone because of my f'd up NFC reader (thanks to a nudge from Samsung). I was rooted and unlocked, but flashed the phone back to stock and relocked the bootloader using Wugs. Is there anything else I should do (erase any files, remove any apps, etc.) before I send the original phone in? Just want to make sure all goes well.

Guess what I'm going to do when I get the replacement? ROOT THAT BABY:)! Thanks for all help in advance...

Do they give you any hassles if the glass has surface scratches? There's no cracks, but there are some scratches you can see close up if the screen's turned off.

Nah, main thing is cracks and moisture damage. Normal wear and tear are acceptable

Agreed, unless its bad, they won't care. I had a couple small scratches in mine when returned it.

By bad I mean looks like someone took a sandblaster to it.

If you hand your phone to someone, and their first comment is "OMG!@! what did you do to the screen?" Then you might have a issue :p
